I think I’d just bring extra food the next day so both I and they can eat. Clearly someone isn’t able to bring their own food for whatever reason, and I can’t really blame them for choosing to eat when the alternative is starving, even if it is annoying that I missed my lunch that day.
Yeah I realize they are trolling, and my reply isn’t for them. Displaying solidarity for my uterus-having comrades.
since you decided
So glad to hear that you are supportive of people’s autonomy to make decisions, that’s an important value to have. Since you support them making a decision to take action that could result in beginning a pregnancy, you’ll also support that autonomy when they make another decision later to end a pregnancy. Isn’t it great when we have ethical consistency in our views? Congratulations!
What a uselessly privileged comment. You can’t possibly be making it in good faith, but on the off chance you really are that removed from reality:
Suggesting that a 97 year old person should “just move, bro” is ridiculous. It’s a ridiculous suggestion for most people, regardless of age; most people are way too poor to hire a ride-share every day, or pick up and move their whole life at a whim.
Yeah! How dare people object to the symbols of their ideology being coopted by the very forces their ideology opposes. Do you hear yourself? 🙄
Could you elaborate what you mean by “doesn’t have Wayland”?
Krita works fine on Wayland (I just finished using it to scribble out a comic strip, in fact), but is there something specific you’re finding that is broken?
That’s a pretty vague question; what kind of NSFW “stuff” are you looking to post?
However, if you’re talking about art, then Slushe is a fairly nice NSFW art site (though it may be abandoned by it’s creators, last blog activity was over a year ago) that varied artists post plenty of stuff regularly.
Why does public infrastructure need to be commercially viable? There’s plenty of good reasons for people to need to travel aside from engaging in commerce.
The justification should go the other way round; infrastructure is for public use, and commercial entities ought to be taxed extra for utilizing public resources.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be anything better than Calibre at the moment. (Though, I’m happy to be proven wrong!) Nothing against Calibre, it’s functionally amazing free software and it works very well; I said “unfortunately” because the interface is extremely dated and clunky and confusing to operate. Once you get it working, it’s very nice though. As long as you never have to go fiddling with it again, because every time you’ve gotta reacquaint with it’s weird UI. Still, it really is the best available at the moment, and it’s free so that’s awesome.
My favorite way to set it up is using the linuxserver image, which has a web-based VNC built into it, so you can remotely run the app on a headless server and then use your browser to interact with it.
I have Calibre configured to monitor a folder for new stuff I throw into it, where it’ll automatically fetch metadata and put it into the database. Calibre also has an OPDS server built in, to which I point a nicer frontend for reading comics. Currently that is Kavita which provides a decent web UI for both books and comics.
Anyhow, I believe you could enter data about your physical comics into the Calibre database, and then view the metadata with something like Kavita, though of course you’d be skipping the reading features.
Oh no, somebody who might be Russian took a family vacation to go fishing with their loved ones!? What an orgy of indulgence! The audacity!
I dunno, Mozilla developers have had 10 releases in the past 4 months alone, with many bug fixes in every release, and 3 of those releases being minor versions each containing multiple new features. I certainly consider bug fixes and new features to be improvements happening to the browser.
Yeah, not understanding that is a consequence of people not reading the source material, because Tolkien definitely explains exactly why the eagles couldn’t do that.
On the other hand, I think it’s a valid criticism of the movies that, for all the amazing things he did in that trilogy, Peter Jackson failed to explain something minor that turned out to be a lingering issue for some segment of the wider audience that would consume that adaptation.

Edit: oops, @ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org beat me to it!
These fuckers should just release digital first, and physical comes when it’s done being printed and distributed. This anxiety over “oh no a finished game got leaked early” is manufactured drama. If the game is done, then it doesn’t matter when it gets released, except for artificial marketing angst. Make a good game that players want, and it’ll be purchased. Eventually. It doesn’t have to all happen at exactly the predicted moment.
This kind of confusion illustrated by Telegram users is exactly why it was the right thing to do for privacy when Signal removed support for SMS because it’s not encrypted. People still whine endlessly about it, but most users are not very savvy, and they’ll assume “this app is secure” and gleefully send compromised SMS to each other. All the warnings and UI indicators that parts of the app were less secure (or not at all in the case of SMS) would be ignored by many users, resulting in an effectively more dangerous app. Signal was smart to remove those insecure features entirely.
Right! It’s definitely fulfilling the purpose OP stated here in this post, as long as that’s what you’re using it for. I’m just pointing out that it doesn’t do the other things it claims to do in the readme for the repo, so that’s something to be aware of.
This seems like a valuable utility for concealing writing style, though I feel like the provided example fails to illustrate the rest of the stated goal of the project, which is to “prevent biases, ensuring that the content is judged solely on its merits rather than on preconceived notions about the writer” and “enhance objectivity, allowing ideas to be received more universally”.
The example given is:
You: This is a demo of TextCloak!!!
Model: “Hey, I just wanted to share something cool with you guys. Check out this thing called TextCloak - it’s pretty neat!”
The model here is injecting bias that wasn’t present in the input (claims it is cool and neat) and adds pointlessly gendered words (you guys) and changes the tone drastically (from a more technical tone to a playful social-media style). These kinds of changes and additions are actually increasing the likelihood that a reader will form preconceived notions about the writer. (In this case, the writer ends up sounding socially frivolous and oblivious compared to the already neutral input text.)
This tool would be significantly more useful if it detected and preserved the tone and informational intent of input text.
Why is that impossible? Create the post in !reddeadredemption@lemmy.ml, or !gta6@lemmy.ml or !fortnite@lemmy.ml (those are the games OP keeps harping on) or whatever game they’re interested in.
I guess if there’s no existing community, that’s an issue. Create one, then. Post the hyper-specific question into that new community, and then go post an announcement of the community in the broader games communities and let people interested naturally filter in.
I’m not a Lemmy expert by any means, I’m just suggesting ways to engage with people that seems to me like it’d be more constructive and likely to be appreciated. 🤷
I’ll take the imperialist extraterrestrials, they’re probably gonna be easier to mobilize humans in opposition against than the terrestrial imperialists we have now.
